He gives me no choice

Whom have I in heaven but you?
And earth has nothing I desire besides you.
Psalm 73:25

You hem me in behind and before,
and you lay your hand upon me...
Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.
If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me,”
even the darkness will not be dark to you;
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you.

Psalm 139:5,7-12

Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. We have come to believe and to know that you are the Holy One of God.”
John 6:68

called to be victors in a race already won

"Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but

I press on to make it my own, 

because Christ Jesus 

has made me his own."

Phil 3:12

What a promise, what a victory.

This paper is due in 6.5 hours. But all I can think about is next yearrrrrrrrrrrr

"For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him..." 2 Chronicles 16:9a

 May He find us fully committed, selfless servants with all things seen and unseen. Holding back nothing, just as Jesus gave it all and silently bore it all on the cross. Worthy is the Lamb. Change our hearts, oh God.

to crave

My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food,
and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips,
when I remember you upon my bed,
and meditate on you in the watches of the night;
for you have been my help,
and in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy.
My soul clings to you;
your right hand upholds me.

Psalm 63:5-8

But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

Matthew 6:33

Crave this.
